Income Statement Excerpts Year Ended December 31, 2017 ($ in thousands) 2018 2016 Statement of Revenues and Expenses: Operating Revenues: Sales to Members Sales to non-Members Operating Expenses: Other Income Net Interest Charges Net Margin(a) $1,479,379 734 1,255,137 68,262 242,039 $1,433,830 366 1,195,326 64,985 252,578 $1,506,807 424 1,251,567 56,903 262,222 $51,199 $51,277 $50,345 Sales to Members (a) Margins for Interest ratio is calculated on an annual basis and is determined by dividing Oglethorpe’s Margins for Interest by Interest Charges, both as defined in Oglethorpe’s First Mortgage Indenture. The Indenture obligates Oglethorpe to establish and collect rates that, subject to any necessary regulatory approvals, are reasonably expected to yield a Margins for Interest ratio equal to at least 1.10 for each fiscal year. In addition, the Indenture requires Oglethorpe to show that it has met this requirement for certain historical periods as a condition for issuing additional obligations under the Indenture. Oglethorpe increased its Margins for Interest ratio to 1.14 each year, starting in 2010, above the minimum 1.10x ratio required by the Indenture, and the 2019 budget also includes a 1.14 Margins for Interest ratio. Oglethorpe’s Board of Directors will continue to evaluate margin coverage throughout the Vogtle construction period and may chose to further increase, or decrease, the Margins for Interest ratio in the future, although not below 1.10. 18 4th Quarter and Year-End 2018 Investor Briefing 6.436.025.90 23,011,07923,813,67925,522,852 Average Power Cost (cents/kWh) Sales to Members (MWh) 1.14x1.14x1.14x Margins for Interest Ratio(a)

Oglethorpe has no financial covenant requirement to maintain a minimum equity ratio; however, a covenant in the Indenture restricts distributions of equity (patronage capital) to its Members if its equity ratio is below 20%. Oglethorpe also has a covenant in two credit agreements that currently requires a minimum total patronage capital of $750 million. The equity ratio is less than that of many investor-owned utilities because Oglethorpe operates on a not-for-profit basis and has a significant amount of authority to set and change rates to ensure sufficient cost recovery to produce margins to meet financial coverage requirements. 19 4th Quarter and Year-End 2018 Investor Briefing 9.2%9.8% Equity Ratio(a)

New DOE Loan for Vogtle 3 & 4 • In September 2017, Oglethorpe received a conditional commitment from the DOE in the amount of $1.62 billion for an additional loan guarantee for Vogtle 3&4. • In March 2019, Oglethorpe closed on an Amended and Restated Loan Guarantee Agreement with the DOE which increased Oglethorpe’s DOE loan financing from $3.06 billion to $4.68 billion. • The subsidy fee for the new loan is zero (same as original DOE loan). • Savings estimates for this loan are ~$200 million net present value; combined with the first loan, net present value savings expected to exceed $500 million. Vogtle 3 & 4 Financing Plan (a) Represents the full amounts of these loans, however, advances may not occur after December 31, 2020 for the 2014 loan and November 30, 2023 for the 2019 loan, so, depending on timing of construction payments, we may be unable to fully advance both facilities. We expect to use additional taxable bonds for amounts, if any, not fully advanced under these loan facilities. (b) These amounts would be reduced by unspent contingency, if any, Member expensed interest during construction, and investment earnings from the Toshiba guarantee payment. 21 4th Quarter and Year-End 2018 Investor Briefing Source With New DOE Loan Taxable Bonds (issued 2009-2018) $1.89 billion Existing DOE Loan (2014) $3.06 billion(a) New DOE Loan (2019) $1.62 billion(a) Future Taxable Bonds $0.93 billion(b) Total $7.50 billion
